Constellation Brands, one of the world's largest wine companies, is expected to become the third-largest beer supplier in the United State today with a $5.3 billion purchase of the U.S. distribution rights of Grupo Modelo beers from Anheuser Busch InBev.

Constellation Beer, the company that produces Corona beer, announced it is recalling select 12- and 18-packs of glass Corona bottles as they could contain small particles of glass.

According to Corona's website, the recall is limited in scope and affects less than "one-tenth of one percent" of 12-packs currently available. That translates to about 1 in every 5,000 bottles.

"The safety and well-being of consumers is our top priority, and we take matters pertaining to the quality of our products very seriously," Constellation President Paul Hetterich told USA Today. “We’re actively working with our distributor partners to quickly resolve the matter.”

To find out which bottles of Corona are affected, make sure the production code on the neck of the bottle or case doesn't match one of the codes below.
